Plot overview

The Truth Behind the Car Explosion Case (Anime: 150)

Her interview with a bombing witness, recovered at Beika Central Hospital, allows the police to identify the bomber, and her ultra realistic sketch by itself is able to prove murderous intent by getting correct details other sketch artists may have missed. This alone allowed Conan to fully establish an otherwise impossible to prove intent.
